Title
Multiple level visual semantic fusion method for image re-ranking
Abstract
Mid-level semantic attributes have obtained some success in image retrieval and re-ranking. However, due to the semantic gap between the low-level feature and intermediate semantic concept, information loss is considerable in the process of converting the low-level feature to semantic concept. To tackle this problem, we tried to bridge the semantic gap by looking for the complementary of different mid-level features. In this paper, a framework is proposed to improve image re-ranking by fusing multiple mid-level features together. The framework contains three mid-level features (DCNN-ImageNet attributes, Fisher vector, sparse coding spatial pyramid matching) and a semi-supervised multigraph-based model that combines these features together. In addition, our framework can be easily extended to utilize arbitrary number of features for image re-ranking. The experiments are conducted on the a-Pascal dataset, and our approach that fuses different features together is able to boost performance of image re-ranking efficiently. © 2014, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
